If it is a StP/PtE style white exile spell then U/W Delver will simply be too good. I'm hoping for an IoK type of discard spell since Despise is pretty meh IMO.

You mean the Despise that on the play rips delver's opening hand apart? Or on the draw rips their second delver/image/geist/dungeon geists/captain/ etc from their hand for 1 mana uncounterable outside of mental misstep? We just may not be talking about the same card here. Have you snapcastered into a despise before? That is backbreaking in the match ups where despise matters. Back on topic, the first spoiler of the season is usually something flavorful and more than likely a card the powers that be especially like. I wonder what fun this card will be
I once farted during the final match for prizes at an FNM. It was a tense moment, everything was quiet, control vs control, I was about to mana leak, thought about it.. and farted. Then mana leaked.
I mean..I know white needs even more overpowered removal spells and all, since Path and Swords aren't good enough and what not..just no.
Honestly, I could maybe see it. Maybe. Most of the powerhouse creatures in formats like Legacy that you want to kill are humans (Bob, KotR, Grim, Delver).
HOWEVER, Swords is just right on power level and there is no way we need a more powerful one.
I can't believe anyone is excited about this card. It is absolutely unplayable. I wouldn't even play her in LIMITED. Easily the worst walker printed since the green elf one. Absolutely terrible.

Given that Avacyn was released first, my bet is that it is either:
A: a spell to support her such as "destroy non-white", "exile non-white", ect...
B: something to use against her.
Remember they said "the whole set wanted to be white", so logically white is either going to come out the door looking very strong, and the set will contain a lot of powerful counters to that strength, OR it's going to relegate white to a few powerful cards, with the designers having gone overboard in attempting to find solutions to a "white problem" that didn't actually make it into the set.

I fell like this needs to be exile rather than destroy - This is because once things become indestructible the only way to get rid of it would be exiling it. With Avacyn - the angel making everything indestrutible they need to balance that card more so adding more spells that exile would be the key

The preview card for my Monday article is the miracle card that development is most nervous about. #mtgavr
Could be that card... Maybe something that exiles for 0 with miracle... Or something useless like Jar of Eyeballs...
Someone said that a developer said that a certain card made them nervous and perhaps could be ban worthy (In Legacy0 akin something like how Mental Misstep stomped all over Legacy. The card isn't blue however.

To the people that say that a card needs to be a higher rarity because of Limited... I hate you guys so much. I present to you with this.
I don't know if a Miracle card that just exiles a creature for W is enough to make them sufficiently worried to consider banning it in legacy. Would a card like that really be that much better than Swords to Plowshares or Path to Exile? If it cost around 4 mana normally, I don't even think I'd play it over either of those. They have drawbacks, sure, but being able to keep them in hand and save them for when they're necessary far outweighs the negligible life-gain or extra land that they provide the opponent. If it really is a white spell that exiles a creature, it has to be pushed a lot more than that.
As I've said in another thread, I halfway expect

The Miracle thing would keep this from being usable T1 unless you were on the draw and got *very* lucky,
so I could actually see them printing this.
It would cause all kinds of moaning, but I won't be surprised if it happens.

I could also easily see them "reprinting" Timetwister and Wheel of Fortune as Miracle cards,
as not being able to play those cards exactly when you want them waters them down quite a bit.

This sounds exactly like what it is, MaRo said on Twitter his preview card for tomorrow is the miracle card design is most nervous about.
Although I think it would cost 3W or 4W for this depending on if there are any restrictions to what you can exile
